The Value Stream Lead – Record to Report plays a pivotal role in NHS Supply Chain’s major transformation programme, leading the design and implementation of new, best-practice business processes from the ground up focusing from a financial perspective.

This is not a role focused on incremental change—it requires bold thinking and the creation of out-of-the-box solutions that redefine how the organisation operates.

It provides high visibility across the organisation and valuable experience in Enterprise Resource Planning transformation, stakeholder engagement, and process leadership.

Reporting to the Head of Process Design and Integration, the Value Stream Lead will collaborate closely with subject matter experts, programme teams, internal cross-functional departments, and external stakeholders, including customers and suppliers to deliver on the requirements of the programme. 

Every day you will … 

• Champion and define future ways of working through process ownership and leadership across the financial space at Supply Chain
• Understand and document current processes (process mapping) in the finance team
• Lead on the creation of future processes and translate them into system requirements (translating finance requirements into business-friendly language)
• Support the implementation and testing of changes to ‘business as usual’ to help ensure a successful go-live process
• Responsible for establishing metrics and monitoring long-term process performance
